Do you experience a lack of notification sound whenever any message or text receives on your iPhone or iPad? Have you recently missed an important call that you suppose to receive? If so, then you’re not alone. Some unfortunate iPhone and iPad users have reported that they are unable to catch those messages or incoming calls on time just because their iPhone is not alerting them through the Notification sound.

If you’re victimized with the same consequences, you’re on the right post. Here’s how to fix notification sound not working on iPhone. Follow the simple explanatory guide that we’ve managed to provide you. Without further ado, let’s get started.

How To Fix Sound Notification Problem on iPhone

If you’re not getting any notification sound on iPhone or iPad, then follow the solutions listed below:

Solution 1: Ensure that your iOS or iPadOS device is updated to its latest version. Just visit Settings > General > Software Update, if there’s no update available then move on to the next solution.

Solution 2: Check whether your device has not accidentally turned on the “Do Not Disturb” feature. This feature will restrict any sound or notification tone if any message or calls are receiving. Visit Settings app > Do Not Disturb, now toggle off the button or turned off the feature.

Solution 3: It might possible that the Do Not Disturb feature is not turned on for specific contacts. For this, simply visit the Message app and check whether if there’s a half-moon sign on any of your contact.

If there’s such a sign present exactly as shown in the image, then assume that Do Not Disturb for specific contacts is enabled. To disable it, tap on “Details” and turn off the “Do Not Disturb” feature for that contact.

Solution 4: You might have accidentally muted the device by switching the mute button. For iPhone, this button is located on the left side while for iPad, it’s located on the right side.

Now, turn off the mute button by pushing “Ring/Silent” switch to “Ring” mode, to receive notification sound on your iPhone and iPad.

Solution 5: Try if the issue gets resolved by setting the alert button to a different sound on your iPhone or iPad. Just visit Settings > Notification and any app. Here, for example, select Message and tap Sounds and select the different sounds on the device.

Solution 6: Restart your iOS or iPad OS.

Solution 7: Now, try to restart your Messages app, you can also force to close the app. Press the home button twice and find the Messages app. Swipe up to close the application. Relaunch the Messages application again.
